[0031] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the following will further describe the solutions of the present application. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0032] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0033] The front bumper assembly includes a connected front bumper frame 1 and a front bumper skin. In the related art, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the front bumper frame 1 overlaps on the anti-collision beam 3. Due to the action of gravity, the front bumper assembly has a forward tilt posture and rotates around the anti-collision beam 3 in the direction of the vehicle head and downward, resulting in an offset in the position where the front bumper assembly is installed on the vehicle body, which is not conducive to the matching installation of the front bumper assembly with surrounding parts.

[0034] In view of this, as Figures 3 to 9 shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a front bumper assembly, including a front bumper frame 1 and a connecting bracket 2. A clamping portion 11 is formed on the front bumper frame 1, and a groove 21 is provided on the connecting bracket 2. The clamping portion 11 is inserted into the groove 21 and connected to the groove 21. Further, the cross-section of the groove 21 is polygonal, preferably rectangular, and the outer contour of the clamping portion 11 matches the shape of the groove 21. The side wall of the groove 21 restricts the clamping portion 11 to prevent the front bumper frame 1 from sinking or rotating around the anti-collision beam 3. When the front bumper assembly is formed, for the sake of simple process, the groove 21 can be a through groove. The connecting bracket 2 is also provided with a connecting portion 22 for connecting with the anti-collision beam 3, and the connecting bracket 2 is connected to the anti-collision beam 3 through the connecting portion 22.

[0035] For the front bumper assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application, the front bumper frame 1 is connected to the anti-collision beam 3 through the connecting bracket 2. During specific installation, first connect the connecting bracket 2 to the anti-collision beam 3. As Figure 7 shown, the connecting bracket 2 and the anti-collision beam 3 can be connected by bolts, and then insert the clamping portion 11 of the front bumper frame 1 into the groove 21. The front bumper frame 1 is connected to the anti-collision beam 3 through the connecting bracket 2, avoiding the forward tilt posture of the front bumper frame 1 due to gravity, thereby improving the matching installation accuracy of the front bumper assembly with surrounding parts.

[0036] Considering that when the vehicle is assembled as a whole, the position of the anti-collision beam 3 cannot be adjusted after it is fixed. In the related art, the front bumper skeleton 1 overlaps on the anti-collision beam 3, so the height of the front bumper skeleton 1 is determined by the installation height of the anti-collision beam 3. And when the front bumper skeleton 1 is installed, it needs to be matched and docked with the surrounding parts. Therefore, in some embodiments, the position of the groove 21 and the anti-collision beam 3 in the first direction can be adjusted, and the first direction is the height direction of the vehicle. That is to say, when the connecting bracket 2 is connected to the anti-collision beam 3 or after being connected, the distance between the groove 21 and the anti-collision beam 3 can be adjusted. And the height of the clamping portion 11 corresponds to the height of the groove 21. That is to say, the distance (position) between the front bumper skeleton 1 and the anti-collision beam 3 in the first direction can be adjusted. On the one hand, it can relieve and absorb the position deviation during the installation of the front bumper skeleton 1 and the anti-collision beam 3. On the other hand, by adjusting the distance between the groove 21 and the anti-collision beam 3, the assembly accuracy of the front bumper assembly and the surrounding parts can be satisfied.

[0037] When specifically implemented, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, a connecting plate 31 is formed on the anti-collision beam 3, and a waist-shaped hole 23 is provided on the connecting portion 22. The connecting piece passes through the waist-shaped hole 23 and the connecting plate 31 and fixes the connecting plate 31 and the connecting portion 22 together. The connecting piece and the waist-shaped hole 23 form a movable fit in the first direction. The connecting piece can be a component such as a screw or a pin shaft. One end of the connecting piece forms a large head, and a locking nut is arranged at the other end of the connecting piece. The length of the waist-shaped hole 23 extends along the first direction, and the length of the waist-shaped hole 23 is greater than the outer diameter of the connecting piece. The distance between the groove 21 and the anti-collision beam 3 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the connecting piece in the waist-shaped hole 23.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 to 9 shown, the connecting bracket 2 has opposite first surface 24 and second surface 25 along the second direction. The second direction is the depth direction of the groove. The second surface 25 faces the anti-collision beam 3, and the first surface 24 faces the front bumper skeleton 1. The groove 21 penetrates through the first surface 24 to the second surface 25, that is, the above-mentioned through groove. The groove 21 has a bottom surface 26 and a top surface 27 on opposite sides in the first direction. The first direction intersects with the second direction. A U-shaped groove 210 is formed on the bottom surface 26 and recesses in a direction away from the top surface 27, and the opening of the U-shaped groove 210 faces the second surface 25. An elastic hanging portion 20 is formed on the side of the clamping portion 11 facing the bottom surface 26. The elastic hanging portion 20 abuts against the side wall of the U-shaped groove 210 to realize the connection between the clamping portion 11 and the groove 21. As Figure 9 shown, the elastic hanging portion 20 can be understood as: a hook integrally formed with the clamping portion 11. The hook can be retracted into the internal cavity of the clamping portion 11 under extrusion. When the elastic hanging portion 20 enters the U-shaped groove 210, the extrusion force disappears, and the elastic hanging portion 20 pops out of the cavity and is hooked on the side wall of the U-shaped groove 210 after resetting.

[0039] When the clamping part 11 is inserted into the groove 21, the elastic hanging part 20 is hung with the U-shaped groove 210 to realize the connection between the clamping part 11 and the groove 21. After the elastic hanging part 20 is hung with the U-shaped groove 210, it is not easy to fall off and the process of inserting the clamping part 11 into the groove 21 is simple and easy to achieve.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a step 28 is formed on the first surface 24 and is raised away from the second surface 25, and the upper surface of the step 28 is connected to the bottom surface 26, a part of the clamping portion 11 is inserted into the groove 21, and the other part of the clamping portion 11 is overlapped on the step 28. The connection area between the clamping portion 11 and the connecting bracket 2 is increased, so that the connection between the front protection frame 1 and the connecting bracket 2 is more stable.

[0041] In some embodiments, along the second direction from the second surface 25 to the first surface 24, the cross-sectional area of ​​the clamping portion 11 gradually increases, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the clamping portion 11 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 21, so that when the clamping portion 11 is inserted into the groove 21, it is a clearance fit, which reduces the friction between the clamping portion 11 and the groove 21, avoids the clamping portion 11 or the groove 21 from being worn, and makes it easier for the clamping portion 11 to be inserted into the groove 21. In order to prevent the clamping portion 11 from being separated from the groove 21, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the top surface 27 is formed with a stopper 29 protruding toward the bottom surface 26, and along the second direction, the stopper 29 is located between the second surface 25 and the elastic hanging portion 20. When the clamping portion 11 is inserted into the groove 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the side of the clamping portion 11 facing the bottom surface 26 is hung with the U-shaped groove 210 through the elastic hanging portion 20, and the side of the clamping portion 11 facing the top surface 27 is abutted with the limiting portion 29, and in the process of the clamping portion 11 extending into the groove 21, the end with a smaller cross-sectional area is extended first, and after the hanging portion is hung with the U-shaped groove 210, the end with a smaller cross-sectional area is tilted up and just abuts with the limiting portion 29, and the process of the clamping portion 11 extending into the groove 21 is smooth and almost frictionless, and the corresponding connection between the limiting portion 29 and the hanging portion and the top surface 27 and the bottom surface 26 of the groove 21 can prevent the clamping portion 11 from separating from the groove 21.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connecting bracket 2 is made of plastic, and a felt piece 4 is provided between the connecting bracket 2 and the bottom surface 26. The connecting bracket 2 made of plastic is lighter and can meet the lightweight requirements of the vehicle body. The felt piece 4 between the connecting bracket 2 and the bottom surface 26 can reduce the sound of the collision between the two.

[0043] In some embodiments, a mesh reinforcement rib 5 is provided on the second surface 25 to increase the connection strength of the connecting bracket 2 made of plastic. The mesh reinforcement rib 5 ensures that when any area of ​​the connecting bracket 2 is subjected to force, the force can be absorbed by the reinforcement rib and quickly dispersed.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, at least two clamping portions 11 are provided along the arc length direction of the front bumper skeleton 1, at least two connecting brackets 2 are provided, and each connecting bracket 2 is provided with a groove 21. The clamping portions 11 and the connecting brackets 2 are connected in one-to-one correspondence. The front bumper skeleton 1 and the anti-collision beam 3 can be conveniently installed through the connecting brackets 2, and the stable connection between the arc-shaped front bumper skeleton 1 and the anti-collision beam 3 can be satisfied.

[0045] Another embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes the above-mentioned front bumper assembly and the anti-collision beam 3. The connecting portion 22 of the connecting bracket 2 of the front bumper assembly is connected to the anti-collision beam. For the specific connection method, see the detailed content above and will not be elaborated here. The front bumper skeleton 1 of the front bumper assembly will not produce a forward-tilting posture due to gravity, improving the matching and installation accuracy between the front bumper assembly and the surrounding components, increasing the assembly difficulty of the vehicle, and making the vehicle more compact.
